    My First mk1

    Hi! On May 14th I purchased a one way ticket to White Bluff, TN to pick up 1983 Rabbit 2 dr NA diesel. Saw some pictures of it that the guy texted me, looked pretty solid for what he was asking. It also came with an engine rebuild kit, so i figured, what could go wrong? It had a stupid exhaust on it, but otherwise solid.


    This was the photo in the ad


    This was right when I showed up to pick it up


    This is after I drove it to the AirBnB, it was a fun drive getting to know her.


    I had a LONG drive ahead of me.


    My first stop to make sure the fuel gauge was working. I think it averaged 46mpg


    After I got her home! Cleaned it up a bit, and realized it was leaking A LOT of fluid



    First up was a head gasket replacement.



    And brakes


    And making it shift better.





    Current situation is complete engine rebuild. I will continue to post pictures as i get closer to completion.


    Transmission cleaned up nicely.


    I can't wait to drive this cool little Rabbit again!
Working...
